Beautiful case with flaws

Firstly, this case looks brilliant! It's a showpiece - not too large, but plenty of space inside - which will bring some electronic elegance to any space. Solidly constructed, nice thick, tinted glass... the rest of the visuals are up to you!

I did have a very frustrating build with this case though:
- PSU manoeuvring space is incredibly tight, until I realised that the HDD cage can actually be removed. This is not obvious though.
- Space behind the bulk of the motherboard is also not generous: however, it is workable.
- The fan filter magnets rest directly over the fan screw mounts, i.e. they won't sit flush on the frame, depending on the screw used.
- biggest problem: the fan hub could not power more than one Blacksilent Pro fan.

However: I wrote to Anidees with the above complaints. They have a very responsive and willing customer service. Points 1 and 2 are apparently being addressed in a next revision, together with a removable PSU shroud. They also promptly sent me both a replacement fan hub (also no good) and a newly designed one, which works perfectly. Credit to their CS.

Highly recommended case if you're willing to work with the shortfalls. I'd say it's worth it for the looks!
